Our Mission

GlenM February 15th, 2015

I started this section and called it Glens nook. I plan on hanging out here more often. Ill listen, share my thinking with you, and hope to get to know many of you as we continue to grow our community.

We wanted to share our mission with you before publishing it. We believe that every voice is important and every voice matters. Please share your thoughts on our mission below.

Our Mission:

7 Cups of Tea is for anyone who wants to live in a world where the human experience is free from stigma and stereotypes and rich with love and support. A world where all 7 billion of us can grow and feel like we truly belong.

We believe that each one of us is inherently valuable. We do not measure people based on where they are from, what they look like, or what position they hold. We recognize that people make sense in the larger story of their lives. We understand that people are complicated and that life is not simple or easy.

We are all on the same path. Some of us are just starting out. Others are further down the road. No matter where we are, being kind, compassionate, and accepting of one another enables us all to grow.

We do not tolerate people being mean, harmful, or rejecting of others. We do not judge or look down on people.

Although there are forces that tend to disempower and create division, we stand together as we compassionately care for and champion one another. We see our differences as a strength. We are united in our shared goal of creating a place where all can find acceptance and be welcomed to a home where we all belong.

Our Goal: We are living in a world with an immense love deficit, which means that none of us is receiving the love we need to reach our true potential, to truly thrive. Our goal is to build a support system, a web, that can hold every member of our world. We believe that we can fill that love-gap for every person in the world, either because they are an active member of our community or because they are touched personally by someone who has been empowered by 7 Cups of Tea. We will reach this goal when we provide 100 million positive and supportive conversations each and every week.

If you want my opinion & apparently no one does, this site is one sided & lame. Anytime I say something more meaningful or controversial than 🍪 I'm scolded & told to go away. It's really hurtful when the pain of depression is compounded by so-called Help Sites inability to allow people in pain to express it. I am wholly disappointed.

Lisa I know depression can leave us feeling lost and scared ! I hope this feeling shifts for you soon and that you get the chance to feel heard and understood ! Your smile is important and so are your needs and feelings ❤️ I want to say that life is full of surprises and it's changing all the time ... Don't give up on things cause it's clear that you have the will to want change and for the better !

Sorry to hear that you feel like nobody has listened to you Lisa. I hope that you will feel listened to and supported somewhere, if not at 7cups that you will find a supportive connection somewhere.

How do you think 7cups could be improved to help someone like you better?

With support,

heartThis site has many times been my only respite from the hardships of life. I am so incredibly thankful that 7 cups of tea exists. Thank you. It's so comforting to know that when there's not a person in sight to talk to, there are always many listeners here for me. Again, thank you so very much.
